What an amazing crock of *** you offer Mister Gilmer. You MUST be making
some good money from the Prohibition of Drugs to make such patently
erroneous claims.

Drug laws were imposed from the top. That's historical fact, no matter how
hard you try and pretend it is not with your government approved deceptions.

They were not formed by a concensus in society. Consensus demands that
society be aware of the facts before making such decisions as prohibition
laws and that was never the case. Other men like you manufactured the false
data that led to the public's acceptance of Prohibition laws in order to
protect their own fortunes and to create a source of illicit gains for their
partners in crime.

In fact the current apparent consensus in society against the use of drugs
has been established through 50 years of pure propaganda from the US Federal
Government.

Do you work for the US Feds? Or the Black Market?
